How this record is put together
Every row above is a league match played between the two clubs and held in this archive, which begins with the 2000/01 season. A meeting is counted once, on the date it was played, and the score is the full-time result. Where the two clubs have spent seasons in different divisions there is simply a gap in the sequence — the fixture did not exist that year, rather than being left out.
Compare any other two clubs with the head-to-head tool, which opens on this pairing, or read the records these matches feed into.
